Human Resources Consultant | Recruitment | People Ops
Need HR expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire? I help small businesses and growing startups run compliant, people-centered operations, handling hiring, documentation, and day-to-day HR challenges so you don’t have to. I’m a human resources consultant and recruiter with 5+ years of experience supporting fast-paced businesses in building and maintaining efficient, compliant, and high-performing teams. Here’s what I can help you with: - Full-Cycle Recruitment: Job posting, resume screening, interviews, offer letters - HR Policy & Compliance: Drafting handbooks, policies, and employment agreements - Onboarding & Offboarding: New hire setup, exit documentation, process improvement - Employee Relations & Culture: Conflict resolution, feedback processes, engagement - HR Admin & Recordkeeping: Digital filing systems, ADP, HRIS management, GSuite, BambooHR - Remote Team Coordination: Calendars, updates, staff support across time zones 🟢 Tools I’ve used: ADP, JazzHR, BambooHR, Trinet, ZipRecruiter, Gusto, Zoho People, Slack, Google Workspace, MS Suite, Trello, and Asana. What Makes Me Different: Tailored Support: I don’t use one-size-fits-all playbooks; every company’s people ops needs a custom touch. Speed with Accuracy: I deliver compliant, organised, decision-ready output fast. Scalable Structure: Whether you're hiring your third employee or fortieth, I build systems that grow with you. Remote-Ready: I’ve worked across borders and time zones; no hand-holding needed. Clients come to me when: ✔ Their hiring pipeline is disorganised or too slow ✔ They need policies or documentation built from scratch ✔ They want an HR admin who thinks like an HR partner Message me to discuss your current HR bottlenecks or recruiting goals. I’m happy to help.
